  Loved the privacy of the place watching all the wildlife, we made full use of the hot tub and table tennis. Kitchen had a few little things missing, a whisk for eggs and a proper mop would have been useful. Definitely going to book again for next year!

• "We had a lovely stay at the property."

  Everything was really well maintained and we didn't want for anything. The host was extremely friendly and responsive. The pool table, piano and hot tub was enjoyed by all! We loved all the different rooms and there was so much space for everyone. Star gazing is a must from the beautiful garden on a clear night. We would definitely recommend. Also, we would recommend a visit to Elan Valley Reservoirs and the Break-Its-Neck waterfall.

  The gardens and outdoor areas were well looked after, beds comfortable only slight niggle the large corner sofa seemed to be missing some back cushions making it uncomfortable for those who didn't have a cushion and maybe a cleaning spray in kitchen to wipe surfaces after cooking other than that it was amazing

• "We had a fabulous stay here for new year."

  The house was very clean and spacious with lots of room for all generations. Playing games in the lounge in the evening with the woodburner on was very cosy. The teenagers and adults all enjoyed playing pool and the hot tub. Some table tennis was also enjoyed in between the rain and frost. We liked the close proximity to Builth Wells and walked into town easily from the house. We also enjoyed trips to Llandrindod Wells, Rhayader, Elam Valley and Hay on Wye.

• "This was the first holiday we've had with extended family and everyone had a lovely time in this beautiful house."

  The Pheasantry is a very comfortable spacious house with just about all the modcons you could possibly need. The hot tub and pool room were a big hit all round as were the games in the dining room and the swing in the well maintained large garden, which is a haven for various birds, bats, rabbits and other wildlife. (Yes, we did see a couple of pheasants, too!) The bedrooms are bright and airy with big comfy beds. The en-suites and family bathroom were very user friendly. The kitchen area is really the hub of the home here. It is very well stocked right down to the quirky egg cups! Our normally anxious dog also settled very quickly and didnt want to leave! Great location, great house, great holiday.

• "We returned yesterday from a fabulous 7 day stay at the Pheasantry."

  We had 9 people in our party plus a dog and found everything at the property to entertain our family and friends whose ages ranged from 12 years to 70 years. The property was very comfortable and a perfect size for our party. We were left not wanting for anything as the property was well provisioned. The gardens were impressive and the seating areas perfectly placed. The hot tub was the icing on the cake for all ages as was the outdoor tennis table. We would all highly recommend. If we were being picky it would be good to have a traffic mirror on the opposite side of the entrance drive to enable a more comfortable right turn or the hedges either side trimmed back to enable better visibility of oncoming traffic. Our deposit was also returned super quickly on the day we returned.

  The house is spacious with plenty of room for old & young to cohabitate happily. Our teenage grandchildren appreciated the games room, hot tub & table tennis. lovely big bedrooms with good ensuites & the beds were Wonderfully comfortable with lovely white linen. We would have liked a few more bowls/ serving dishes, and a pan cleaner would have been useful. All in all a good find in a nice area close to Builth Wells shops & River walks.

• "The garden is amazing the amount of bird & wild life kept us occupied all week, so reassuring to know that the child & the dogs were safe & secure."

  The pool & ping pong table was a great asset when sorting meals. Everyone commented on how comfortable the beds were & the benefit of the en suites. We were very lucky with the weather but could really see the benefit of the dog room for drying off etc. Hot tub well maintained we met the house keeper who was a lovely & any queries/questions were dealt with promptly. The kitchen area was brilliant & user friendly too overall we would love to return at some point what made the holiday was the fact it was nice & secluded but not a million miles away from town either the views were to die for which ever way you left the property. Can't wait to return.

  Despite the weather being wet most of the time there were plenty of facilities to keep us entertained.

  Larger than expected. Plenty of space for everyone. Really peaceful and relaxing with plenty to visit in the area if you want something to do. We were three generations of the same family hoping to spend some quality time together and the house was perfect for this. Quiet areas for the grandparents when they needed it. Plenty of space in the safe garden for the children to use up their energy. The games room, pool table and tennis table were perfect for the older kids. We would love to visit again and highly recommend.

  We found the Pheasantry to be spotless in all areas. It's set up with a pool table, piano, games room, large airy and comfy library, jaccuzi and table tennis. Plenty of break away areas should you wish quiet times. We've made more wonderful family memories by staying at the Pheasantry. Such a fabulous week.

  Hot tub was great for relaxing and the men enjoyed the table tennis and pool tables. The dog bath was also a great added bonus. Would say we found the heating in one side of the house didn't seem to respond to us but it was just about warm enough during our stay to not need it.

• "This was a lovely house with a lovely garden in a lovely part of Wales."

  Very well equipped and a nice cake and bread was there for our arrival after a long journey. The pool table was a hit with the kids as was the hot tub. The house is more spacious than the description and photos suggest and was perfect for our large group. Fantastic base to explore Wales so nobody wanted to come home. The communication from the owner was great so we can not fault this property in any way. Only advisory, the property is nicely secluded but the road does not have a path for about 100m so be careful if you have small kids. However, the road was not too busy so not a big issue.

• "The cottage was absolutely perfect."

  Lovely garden with lots of nature. There was enough things in the cottage to keep everyone entertained throughout, like the ping pong table, pool table, piano, board games, hot tub and tree swing. We also loved the cake, dessert treats, eggs, bread, tea and coffee, and milk, as well as firewood that the owners gave us. We loved how easy check in and check out was, and how we were left to enjoy the cottage without interference from anyone. And the WiFi was really good. The fridge and freezer were a great size. Although we really enjoyed our stay, there are just a couple of things that I think it would be good for the owners to take on board. Firstly, it would be great if the kitchen was slightly better stocked, e.g. By having more pint glasses, more small oven dishes, cooking tongs etc. Secondly, it would have been great if we had slightly more kitchen roll, toilet paper and dishwasher tablets. Lastly, we don't feel it's necessary to ask for a £500 security bond before our stay. You have our card on file so you could just charge us if anything was broken. But our bond was returned on the same day as check out which was good. Overall a really pleasant stay and we hope to come back soon

• "The Pheasantry was beautiful and everything we needed for our stay."

  The owners were very helpful before arriving and happy to answer any questions with quick responses. The cottage is just outside of Builth Wells but easily accessible via car or walking as we walked into town a few times during our stay by the main road. The cottage has more rooms than you actually need and is perfect for larger groups if people want to have large scale games in the dining room together or split off into smaller groups in the board game room, snug, pool and piano room and the upstairs sitting room. The garden/grounds that go all the way around the cottage are amazing and made everything look wonderful as you go for a wander outside, plus the table tennis table, hot tub and tree swing definitely help. Also another big plus is how secluded the cottage is and gives plenty of privacy. Overall an amazing place to stay and will definitely be looking to stay here again if looking to holiday in wales again. Our party was a group of friends made up of x8 25 - 30 year olds, just for context.

  It is spotlessly clean, the beds (and pillows) very comfortable and the bathrooms gorgeous. The owner and housekeeper were very quick to answer any queries. We stayed over Christmas, there was a lovely Christmas tree and some unexpected goodies, which made us feel very welcome. The hot tub was serviced every day so we were confident that the water was clean and safe. The weather was very wet, which meant that we couldn't enjoy the garden and table tennis table as we had planned, but the house was warm and cosy to return to after wet and muddy walks. My only suggestion for improvement would be a doormat into the boot room - we mopped the floor daily and cut up a cardboard box for wet dogs and children to stand on when we came through the door! I recommend this property wholeheartedly.

  Spacious rooms and fully equipped throughout. We loved the pool table, the table tennis table and our dogs loved exploring the garden. On our first day there were home made cakes, bread, local butter and milk to help us to settle in. The hot tub was tended each day so we didn’t have to think about it. Raspberry bushes and apple trees were laden with fruit and there were so many books and games for us to use when the weather was bad. Our dogs made full use of the dog bath in the boot room. We would highly recommend this house for a family gathering and there are lots of walks locally, great restaurants and places to visit. The house is big enough for everyone to have their own space but also homely enough gather in one room and enjoy a board game or a chat. We loved it!
